This post actually inspired me to track down this book and read it. Unfortunately, it doesn't live up to the cover. It sets up a potentially creepy situation, then makes very little of it, and the ending is a big "huh?" The writing itself isn't terrible, but a bit overblown. I get the feeling the author really liked the conversations that Detective Kinderman had in The Exorcist and wanted to write that kind of banter. Anyway, I wasn't bored, really, just underwhelmed. There was so much else that could have been done with this idea... but the author skipped every opportunity.
